Chapter 119 Madness and Chaos
Whether Wei Yanqing was controlling the magnetic field or not, Rong Yi felt that the flight was unusually smooth. The closer they got to the beam of light, the lower Wei Yanqing descended.
"There's inspection equipment; we're going to force our way through." It was Wei Yanqing's deep voice in my ear.
Rong Yi couldn't hide the smile in her eyes as she turned to look at him. "Can we get to the Ghost Realm by following them?" She didn't care whether they forced their way in or not.
"It should be possible."
The two looked at the fading beam of light, and Wei Yanqing said, "I need to speed up, hold on tight."
Someone was detected breaking in, and bright lights lit up everywhere. Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing caught the tail of the beam of light.
Rong Yi didn't know how to describe the feeling. It was as if there was a narrow gap that her normal physique had to squeeze through. The process was a little uncomfortable, but she could endure it.
As she squeezed through that invisible gap, her mind felt fogged up, and her perception of time and space became blurred. It could have been a minute, or it could have been an hour. Finally, she squeezed through the gap.
When her five senses returned, she seemed to fall into someone's arms, carrying the faint scent of sunlight.
After a while, she remembered that it seemed to be the scent of Wei Yanqing.
Rong Yi propped himself up and moved to the side, lying on his back on the ground covered with small pebbles. "I feel a little nauseous..."
Once they regained consciousness and recalled what had just happened, they were shocked to realize they were vomiting.
Wei Yanqing was also catching his breath, asking, "Are you alright?"
Rong Yi struggled to sit up, rubbed his head, and said, "I'm alright."
The two were unaware that the live chat had exploded.
If I'm not mistaken, these two forced their way into the teleportation channel, without the token's protection.
[Completely unharmed?]
[Wei Yanqing is one thing, but who is Rong Yi? He only feels this little discomfort while crossing the spatial rift?!]
Did Wei Yanqing bring her along for protection?
[I don't understand, the picture is too messy, I almost threw up looking at it]
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing's senses were in disarray at the time, and they couldn't see what was happening in front of them. However, the live broadcast recorded it clearly, and many viewers couldn't bear it and turned it off to relieve the mental stress.
After two or three minutes, the remaining discomfort and nausea subsided, and Rong Yi finally had the mind to look around.
The place was shrouded in gray, as dark as heaven and earth. There was nothing on the ground except for rubble, and it was very uncomfortable to sit on. Not far away, there were also rubble floating in the air.
It was a bit dark, but at least I could still see my surroundings.
"Is this the Ghost Realm?" When Rong Yi looked at the mirage, he only saw a horde of ghosts against a dark background.
Wei Yanqing stood up and patted his pants. "Yes, but there weren't as many ghosts as when we saw them in the human world."
Fortunately, we had Jin Ning Ghost Lord draw a map beforehand. He took out the map and said, "The Ghost Realm is quite large. No one knows how many ghosts there are. It seems we need to catch a ghost and ask as soon as possible."
Look at what this says.
Rong Yi slid his foot back and forth on the gravel ground, then took out the identification device he had bought for the first time and scanned the gravel.
Wei Yanqing was looking at the map and found that the Ghost Realm had virtually no iconic buildings, let alone a large number of them.
After scanning the rubble, the analyzer displayed a few lines of text. Rong Yi read them from beginning to end. The gist of it was that these were new energy sources for ordinary people, but for people like them who needed energy, they were just waste.
"Never mind, let them just lie here."
These rubble stones were probably the foundation of the ghost realm. She shoveled at them a few times, but couldn't see the bottom.
Wei Yanqing then closed the map. "No, we need to find someone to ask what this place is so we can determine the location of the other places."

The Ghost Realm was flat, and Rong Yi wondered if he was going in circles. "It's supposed to be the Ghost Realm, how come I haven't seen a single ghost in ten minutes?"
They could tell the time because, even though their phones had no signal, the clock was still ticking.
Just as he finished speaking, Wei Yanqing stopped and pointed in a direction, "We've got them. They're approaching us, but there are only two."
Rong Yi looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, after walking a few steps, he saw a ghost rushing towards him.
However, it seemed that the ghost wasn't coming for them, but rather was hiding behind the one that was chasing them.
The ghost that was running ahead seemed to be trapped by a powerful gravitational force, howling and struggling, but it was slowly drifting backward.
The pursuing ghost also appeared, and its appearance was much more terrifying than the one that had run away. Its head was like a millstone, and its body was like a thin rope. It opened its big mouth wide at the fleeing ghost, and the trapped ghost uncontrollably floated toward the mouth of the big-headed ghost.
They watched as one ghost swallowed another, then slowly turned its head back.
It seemed the ghost hadn't seen a living person in years, for it paused for a moment before coming at him with its greenish tongue lolling out like a dog eyeing a bone.
Wei Yanqing: "Third-tier, mid-level strength, stronger than the Ghost Lords we saw before."
Upon hearing this, Rong Yi pulled out his gun, aimed it at the big-headed ghost, and waited until it was close enough before firing two shots at its big mouth.
It wasn't until several seconds after the bullet pierced the big-headed ghost's body that it reacted. The pain made it reach for its mouth with its thread-like hand, uttering a confused "Uh-huh."
Wei Yanqing stretched out his hand, and the big-headed ghost automatically floated towards them.
At such close range, the big-headed ghost looked even more disgusting. Rong Yi frowned and said, "Turn its head around."
Wei Yanqing did as instructed, and although he wasn't sure if it would succeed, he still activated his control ability, asking, "Where in the Ghost Realm is this? Whose territory is this?"
The Ghost Realm map is divided in a simple and straightforward way. Apart from the Ghost King's territory, the rest are the territories of various Ghost Generals. Below the Ghost Generals, Ghosts of various strengths are assigned to smaller territories.
Big-Headed Ghost was silent for a while before speaking. It seemed that his tongue was not working properly, and after uttering a few meaningless syllables, he finally spoke, "Eastern General's territory."
In the ghost realm, there are four great ghost generals, named East, West, South, and North respectively, with the Ghost King in the middle.
Wei Yanqing took out a map for comparison. Jin Ning Ghost Lord was a ghost in the territory of the Southern General in the Ghost Realm. For the map of the Eastern General, he drew a circle and wrote the three characters "Eastern General".
It wasn't until I came to the Ghost Realm that I realized this map could only be viewed in General Nan's territory.
Rong Yi scrutinized the strangely shaped ghost. "I saw the ghost realm in the human world, so why can't I see the human world here?" She thought that looking down from the ghost realm would allow her to see the world of the living.
Without looking up, Wei Yanqing said, "Answer all her questions."
After a few seconds of mental struggle, Big Head Ghost gave in, "We're not there yet."
Rong Yi didn't understand, "Huh?"
"The extension will take time; it's not there yet."
Having understood this time, Rong Yi asked again, "Why did this happen?"
"Because the Ghost King's grand plan has succeeded." Big-Headed Ghost said, his voice almost breaking with tears.
Wei Yanqing put away the map. "What grand plan?" They had a guess, but they still needed to confirm it.
The big-headed ghost looked around with its large eyes on its face, and only after confirming that there were no other ghosts did it cautiously say, "Invading the human world."
Rong Yi feigned ignorance and asked, "Didn't you successfully infiltrate the site?"
The big-headed ghost shook its head. "That's just squeezing in. You still need a token. Once Your Majesty's grand plan succeeds, we can go to the human world anytime, hehehe." As it spoke, it licked its lips.
Rong Yi tapped its big head with the butt of his gun.
